Why Chalmette homeowners hire us
Gulf Coast weather is hard on holiday lighting. Humidity, wind off the river and a December thunderstorm will take down a big-box light set fast. We use commercial-grade bulbs, outdoor-rated connections and clips sized to your roof, so your display survives the season — and if anything does go dark, our Chalmette-based crew is minutes away.
Every package includes design, installation, all materials, timers, in-season service, January takedown and climate-controlled storage. One price, no ladders, no tangled boxes in your attic.
Planning design & custom displays in Chalmette and St. Bernard Parish
A purposeful design
Custom design is for properties that need more than a simple roofline. We begin by identifying the strongest sight lines and architectural features, then build a visual hierarchy around them. That might mean a warm white roof outline anchored by a large wreath, a canopy of wrapped live oaks, illuminated columns and garland, or a coordinated color theme that carries from the entrance to the landscape. Every choice should contribute to one clear composition.
Built for the setting
Large trees, palms, balconies, fences and deep front yards create opportunities for a display with depth. We consider spacing, bulb scale, color temperature and how each element looks both up close and from the road. Commercial-grade C9 bulbs are well suited to roof edges and long viewing distances, while mini LEDs create the density needed for trunks, branches, garland and smaller details. Animated or color-changing elements can be discussed when the property and setting support a livelier presentation.
A complete season
The finished design is made for your specific home, business or event rather than copied from a standard package. The installation team follows the agreed layout, manages power and timing, and checks the display after dark where practical. Because the materials are labeled and stored after takedown, a successful custom design can return consistently each year while still leaving room for additions or a new color direction.
Why the details matter outdoors
Holiday lights in Southeast Louisiana face humidity, rain, wind and fast changes in temperature. We use commercial-grade LED bulbs, outdoor-rated wire and connections, and clips selected for the installation surface. Custom-cut roofline strands follow corners and peaks without excess wire hanging at the ends. Replaceable bulbs also make targeted service possible if one part of a display needs attention.
Power and cord placement are planned as part of the design. Walkways, doors and regular property access should remain clear, and visible wire should be minimized wherever practical. Timers provide consistent operating hours without requiring someone to plug in the display each evening. Before leaving, the crew checks the installed sections and explains how to report a service issue.
Professional installation also avoids the need for homeowners or staff to work at height during a busy season. Roof pitch, landscaping and access conditions are considered during the estimate so the right approach and equipment can be planned in advance. The goal is a clean presentation and a straightforward experience from the first visit through removal.
Your Seasonal ScheduleFrom consultation to takedown
The process starts with a conversation about the property, the look you want and the areas that matter most. During an on-site visit, we measure the installation and identify practical details such as access and available power. Your written quote describes the proposed scope so you can compare priorities and approve the design before an installation date is reserved.
Booking early provides the widest choice of dates, especially when lights need to be ready for Thanksgiving, a business event or a neighborhood gathering. An early installation does not require an early start: timers can remain off until your preferred date. During the season, included maintenance covers the lighting in the approved display, giving you a local contact if something stops working.
After the holidays, the crew returns for scheduled removal. Materials are sorted, labeled and stored for the off-season. This protects the investment in the display and makes a repeat installation more efficient. Before the next season, you can keep the established design, change colors or ask about expanding to another roofline, tree or entrance.
What customers ask before scheduling
Is the estimate based on a package?
The quote is based on the measured property and selected design. Roofline length, height, access, tree size and decorative elements all affect the scope. This lets a customer prioritize the areas that create the most impact instead of paying for a one-size-fits-all package.
Are repairs included during the season?
Yes, service for the lighting supplied and installed as part of your display is included during the season. If a section goes dark, contact the team so it can be checked. You should not climb up or attempt to repair an outdoor connection yourself.
Can the display change next year?
Yes. Stored materials and a documented layout give returning customers a reliable starting point, but the design can evolve. Colors may be changed and additional rooflines, trees, wreaths or landscape features can be considered during the next planning visit.
